Discover Zagreb
Croatia's vibrant capital awaits you this December — a city where Austro-Hungarian elegance meets Mediterranean warmth
Zagreb Highlights
The must-see landmarks and experiences during your stay
Ban Jelacic Square
The central square of Zagreb, a vibrant meeting point surrounded by cafes, shops, and historic architecture. The heart of the city since 1850.
St. Mark's Church
Famous for its colorful tiled roof displaying the coats of arms of Croatia, Dalmatia, Slavonia, and Zagreb. A Gothic masterpiece in the Upper Town.
Zagreb Cathedral
The tallest building in Croatia with its iconic twin spires. A stunning example of Neo-Gothic architecture that dominates the city skyline.
Dolac Market
Zagreb's most famous open-air market, known as the 'Belly of Zagreb'. Fresh produce, local cheeses, and traditional Croatian delicacies.
Upper Town (Gornji Grad)
The historic heart of Zagreb with cobblestone streets, the Stone Gate, Lotrscak Tower, and stunning panoramic views of the city below.
Museum of Broken Relationships
One of Zagreb's most unique attractions — a museum dedicated to failed love stories and their mementos. Quirky, emotional, and unforgettable.
Jarun Lake
A beautiful recreational area perfect for jogging, cycling, or relaxing by the water. Popular with locals for morning exercise and evening strolls.
Tkalciceva Street
Zagreb's most popular pedestrian street, lined with cafes, bars, and restaurants. The perfect place to experience Zagreb's famous cafe culture.
Getting Around
Zagreb is compact and easy to navigate
Walkable City Center
Most landmarks, restaurants, and the conference venue are within a 20-minute walk from the main square. Zagreb's compact center is best explored on foot.
Tram Network
Zagreb's blue trams are iconic and efficient. A single ticket costs about 0.50 EUR. Lines run frequently from 4am to midnight. Buy tickets at kiosks or via the ZET app.
Taxis & Rideshare
Bolt and Uber are widely available and affordable. A ride across the city rarely exceeds 8 EUR. From the airport, expect around 15-20 EUR to the city center.
Food & Drink
Croatian cuisine is a delicious crossroads of Central European and Mediterranean flavors
🧀
Strukli
Zagreb's signature dish — baked layers of thin dough filled with fresh cottage cheese and sour cream. Rich, comforting, and utterly addictive.
🍖
Cevapi
Grilled minced meat sausages served with fresh flatbread (lepinja), raw onions, and ajvar (roasted red pepper spread). The Balkan barbecue classic.
🍷
Croatian Wines
Croatia has over 130 indigenous grape varieties. Try Grasevina (white, continental) or Plavac Mali (red, coastal). The wine bars on Tkalciceva Street are excellent.
🍺
Craft Beer Scene
Zagreb's craft beer revolution is in full swing. Visit The Garden Brewery, Zmajska Pivovara, or Nova Runda for world-class local brews in laid-back taprooms.
Explore Croatia
Extend your trip and discover one of Europe's most stunning countries
Plitvice Lakes National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage site and Croatia's crown jewel of natural beauty. Sixteen terraced lakes connected by waterfalls cascade through ancient beech and fir forests. Even in winter, the frozen waterfalls and misty landscapes are breathtaking. Only 2 hours from Zagreb.
Dubrovnik
The "Pearl of the Adriatic" needs no introduction. Walk the ancient city walls, explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town, and recognize the filming locations of King's Landing from Game of Thrones. A short domestic flight from Zagreb gets you there in under an hour.
Split
Croatia's second-largest city is built in and around the ruins of Roman Emperor Diocletian's Palace — a living, breathing ancient monument. Stroll the Riva promenade, lose yourself in the palace's underground cellars, and soak in the coastal Mediterranean atmosphere.
Rovinj
A romantic Istrian coastal gem that feels like stepping into an Italian painting. Pastel-colored houses tumble down a hillside to the sparkling Adriatic, crowned by the Church of St. Euphemia. The surrounding Istrian peninsula is renowned for its truffles, olive oil, and world-class wine.

About the Program
The Med&X Accelerator is a prestigious summer research program that places exceptional Croatian students and early-career researchers at world-renowned labs and clinics from institutions including Harvard Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, MIT, and MGH.
Our mission goes beyond the internship itself. We want participants to experience amazing institutions, develop both professionally and personally, and accelerate their career development. Upon returning to Croatia, alumni transfer their newly acquired knowledge and skills while maintaining collaborations with their host institutions.
This creates a lasting impact: building bridges in biomedicine between Croatia and world-leading institutions, opening doors for future collaborations, joint research projects, and continued professional exchange.
Eligibility: Medical students, graduate students in biomedical sciences, and early-career researchers (0-3 years post-graduation) from Croatia.
